Re: Vogel interviewed by Houston Rockets

Well if he doesn't get this job here real soon, I can imagine that he'll get several more interviews by other teams very shortly. Other teams really took notice of how good of a job he did when he got his chance this season. I think the Pacers are taking him for granted.

Re: Vogel interviewed by Houston Rockets

I hope we make a complete overhaul. I like Vogel but if keepng him means keeping Bird and ultimately standing pat, no thanks.

Keeping Vogel won't impact that.

Vogel is pretty much the opposite of what Bird saw and liked for 4 years in O'Brien.

I just want something to get done by tomorrow whether it's extending Vogel or Bird making up his mind on his future.

I hope we bring in Kevin Pritchard to the FO whether he replaces Bird or Morway. I like his willingness to take risks and bring in talent to make his team better. With all this cap space, he's gonna be in heaven.

extending Vogel before the lockout to me is stupid just kind of a waste of money if we are locked out.

But I think if we get a new president of basketball operations, they will want to hire a coach that they like rather than keep the one we already have.

Re: Vogel interviewed by Houston Rockets

So, do we get to break out the torches and pitchforks and march on the Fieldhouse if Bird and Simon dilly-dally around and Frank gets scooped up because of it?

Re: Vogel interviewed by Houston Rockets

The Rockets have interviewed something like a dozen guys. This is going to be a long, long process of dwindling down candidates for them. Bird said Frank gets the first and last interview. Bird and Simon are meeting tomorrow.

We're not losing out on Coach Frank because Bird and Simon are screwing around. Chill out. I like him a lot and want him back but some of you are acting like he's Red Auerbach or something.

Re: Vogel interviewed by Houston Rockets

Right on melli. I hope he gets the job to be honest. That way I feel better about going in a different direction. I hope the negotiating between Bird and Simon is over quickly. They both seem to be agreeable and rational men. Some may disagree.

Bird makes this franchise a better franchise. His talent evaluations have helped us tremendously. And his iconic "Legend", doesn't hurt. Anything we can do to bring more attention to the Pacers, the better. Our franchise needs it. We need to become a profitable franchise through this new CBA and team growth. With the rumblings of moving franchises around more easily, I would hate for our small market to be a target. Let Indiana keep its basketball.
